Orvasca eva Schintlmeister
comb. n.
Euproctis
eva Schintlmeister,
1994: 129.
Diagnosis. The facies is somewhat similar to that of (See
Micromorphe chalcostoma Collenette), with pale yellow margins costally and distally around a medium
to pale, pinkish brown-grey. The distal margin of the forewing is more
irregular, with the hint of a central projection to the brown-grey as in kilanas
sp. n. and the next species.
Taxonomic note. The male genitalia indicate this species is an Orvasca, having
both the rugose uncal structure and the saccular flap. The valves have some
similarity to those of the waterstradti group, but with the ventral arm
much narrower.
Geographical range. Sumatra, Borneo.
Habitat preference. Four specimens were taken during the Mulu survey in
three lowland forest types: alluvial, on limestone, and heath forest.
